The only "risk" you will encounter is your youngster may decide that he wants to become Catholic, more likely in later years. This is a real possibility. What you have to decide is how you'd react to that. If the thought of your son abandoning his Jewish roots would cause you and your family distress and heartache then I would suggest you not send him to the Catholic school.
On the other hand, if what religion your son chooses is not so important to you, and you could live a happy life with a Catholic kid, then by all means send him. But you'll have no guarantees that he won't "find the Lord". If you can handle it, go for it.

Thanks for this. Yes, it would cause me some distress. My loving ancestors were killed for being Jewish and my grandfather, who escaped Buchenwald and lived to see his grandchildren grow up Jewish and proud in America, would not want his great-grandchildren abandoning Judaism. This is what troubles me. I respect and love people following their different faiths [please no terrorist flames here, you all know what I mean] and feel akin to Catholics and other Christians in many ways. We share more than divides us. But we Jewish people are also important to this world. And we practicing Jews are important to Jewry; without us, the more Lite versions of Judaism couldn't hang on, either. So I believe my son has a mission in life to be a good Jew. I hope he remains so.
